The Friend of the Editor.

Texas siftlngs.
Some supposed friends of newspa.
per have peculiar ideas as to what
kind of items paper requires. Not
long since gentleman came into the
sanctnm of Texas paper and said to
the editor:
"Look here, you miss heap Of live
items. I'm on the street all day. I'll
come up every once in a while and
post you."
"All right, fetch in your items, but
remember we want news"
Next day he came up, beaming all
over.
"Fve got live item for you. You
know that internal, bow'legged gorilla
of a brother-in-law of mine, who was
in business here with me r.
II believe | remember such a per.
son." said the editor YEARLY.
"Well, Pve just got news from Ne
braska, where he is living, that he is
going to run for the Legislature. Now
Just give him blast. Lift him ont of
his boots. Don't spare him on my
account"
The editor shook his head and the
news gatherer retired.
Next day he came up again. my
little item was crowded out. At least
| didn't see 1t in the paper. ! brought
you some more news" and he handed
In an item about cat, as follows
IA remarkable animal,-The family
cat of our worthy and distinguished
fsllow-townsman, Smith, who keeps
the boss grocery store of Ward No, l8,
(beer always on tap), yesterday be-
came the mother Of five slngularly
marked kittens, This is not the first
time this unheard-of event has taken
place. We understand Mr.. Smith is
being favorably spoken Of as candi-
date for Alderman"
The editor groans in his spirit as he
lights cigar with the effort. 1t is
not long before he hears that Smith is
going around saying that he has made
the paper what 1t Is, but it is not inde,
pendent enough to suit the public,
Many readers will say that this
sketch is overdrawn, but thousands of
editors all over the country will lift up
their right hands to testify that they
are personally acquainted with the
guilty party,

Lippincott's Magazine.
President Cleveland IS very plain
and simple in all his habits. He rises
at 1880 q. M, dresses and shaves him
self, and is ready for breakfast at 8
o'clock. He breakfasts en- famills, and
finishes his morning repast in less than
so minutes. His breakfast usually
consists of oatmeal, beefsteak, hot
cakes and eggs. He is very fond of
fruit, and eats freely of it, He leaves
the breakfast table and goes directly
to his office, and begins work without
any excerse whatever, writing letters
and looking over papers until 10
o'clock, when the callers begin to ar
rive, He then has a siege of a couple
OF hours with the statesmen and Office
seekers, which lasts until 1870 o'clock,
when he is ready for luncheon, He
eats this in less than Is minutes, and
like his every day breakfasts and din
ners, 1t Is eaten In the private dining
room, and tho whole family sit down
together. President Cleveland's lunch
consists of bread and butter, cold
meats, a little fruit, and q cup of tea,
After he has eaten it, he goes di-
rectly back to his office, aud works
steadily until 4. AT this time ho goes
out to drive, in company with his
private secretary, Col, Lamont, He
returns in time for dinner, which is
ready at o'clock, He does not dress
for dinner in the conventional style,
except when he has guests present
who will appear In evening dress,
His private dinners are plain. Wine
is served only when there are guests
present who are accustomed to drink
ing wine with their meals. He is not
so fond of beer as has been reported
by the newspapers, the total White
House consumption of this article
DUNG the past year being not more
than two dozen bottles. The PFesi,
dents daily dinner consists of five or
ak courses first there Is soup, then
fish, then roast, followed by game,
desert, fruit, and, after dinner, coffee.
He does not sit long at table, and
Immediately on leaving it he goes up
into the corridors of the second story
of the White House and smokes
cigar, after which he goes back to his
work, President Cleveland never
smokes in his Office, and the only
smoking he does is this solitary post
prandal cigar. He goes to bed about
midnight, and falls asleep as soon as
be touches the pillow, His system is
such that six OF sayen hours sleep Is
sufficient for him.

Three Notches from the Top.
Abbeville Meridional, Dec. is. 1886.

Abbeville Meridional, Dec. IS, 1885.
The Lake Charles Echo Of the 1lth
says that if Calcasieu parish is con-
sidered by some as poor place for
farming, it nevertheless stands on the
list Of productive parishes in the State
only three notches from the top.
There are persons who might gain
something by understanding that
"pulling down your friend and neigh
Dor to build up ones self" is very
poor way to gain popularity.
A writer, after visiting Calcasieu
parish some years ago, and prophe-
sying its future, among other things
made the following truthful remarks:
Prairies fringed with woodlands,
long levels of pines and soil that is
particularly adapted for the orange,
is Calcasieu. In its heart lies the
beautiful Lake Charles, on the shore
of which is thriving town of tho
same name, which gives space for
high RATS of timber that are greedily
devoured by the many mills that there
do heavy business. With attention
the soil may be made productive. A
disposition towards strictly mineral
formation shows itself, and in a num-
Der of places gypsum, sulphur and
petroleum have been found. A mine
Of pure sulphur has already been
opened, The character of this min
eral compares favorably with that Of
Sicily. With the lumber trade and
orange raising, Caloasieu has sup
ported its population comfortably in
the past, but its resources have not
nearly been developed, and we may
expect with the incoming of immi-
grants, to hear of the establishment of
valuable industries, and the discovery
of hidden mineral wealth. Like its
neighboring parishes, it affords ample
pasturagc for stock. With its forests
of giant timber, its prairies covered
with cattle, its lakes filled with fish,
its shores blackened with game, and
its bowels charged with minerals, Cal
casieu must improve fast"
We are pleased to state, from gen
eral information, that Caleasieu to-day
is fully realizing everything that was
predicted for it; and as population
increases there, the industrious and
frugal citizen never fails to grow up
in prosperity with the country. 1t is
a selfish and an uncharitable act in.
deed in any one who would try to
descry one section of cur State to ad-
vance the interest of his own personal
aggrandizement.

what True Merit Will SDo.

The unprecedented sale of Bosehee's
German Syrup within a few years,
has astonished the world, 1t is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
effectual cure OF Coughs, Colds and
the seVerest Lung Troubles. 1t acts
on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescription given by physi-
clans, as It does not dry up q Cough
and leave it in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy con
ditioR, A bottle kept 10 the house fol
use when these diseases make theil
appearance, will save doctor bills ant
long spell Of serious illness, A tria
will convince yon Of these facts, II i

Written for the EcHo.l
THE NEW YEAR.
BY D. L. II.

To us the year has now gone by,
Shall we its charms forget
Or may we long with saddened eyes,
And future bliss neglect.
Shall we our minds encircling draw
From all its beauteous past,
Or still hold on to Natures law,
That paints impressions fast.
The relics of our mem'ries are
Too dear to leave behind;
But in the distant future far
Still brightly they shall shine.
Though some are bitter well we know,
That folly tempts us all
Our future path Is still aglow,
o may no Ills befall.
Imprinted on our minds is still,
Though years doth swiftly fly,
Much mirth and grief our hearts to fill,
A smile and then sigh.
But now it's gone, forever past,
The Old Year fades from sight
The New beams brightly forth at last,
In purest radiant light.
Our defects Danish from our sight,
We lay them all aside,
They pass as Time doth in her flight,
Our virtues still abide.
Those loved ones who have passed beyond
The sphere of mortal time
Still claim our warmest love, SO fond
Atfliction's pure design,
That noble hearted mothers brow
With sorrows stroke Is knit;
That fathers head Is made TO bow,
His pleasures all adrift,
The angel Death has swooped around,
His mission to fulfill :
He comes to some with heaven s bright crown
While sorrow others illl.
The law of Gods almighty will
Must year by year be done,
And grief the hearts OF some win thrill,
While JOY to Others come
Departed ones still dear to us,
Whose love we gladly praise,
Sheds lustre still most beauteous,
In brightest shining rays.
The mysteries Of the future come
As fast as Times decline
May happiness, as mOTn's bright sun,
Throughout this New Year shine.
May peace and plenty crown us still,
May strife and trouble die
May all our earthly needs be filled,
From Gods bright throne on high,
But, o, may still we bear In mind
Without Thee we're so weak,
And may we strive Thy grace TO find,
Thy love Wen surely seek,

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense Of
weight in the back, IOins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing tho patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times, symptoms Of indi-
gestion are present, fatuleneY, uneasiness of
the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspira-
tiOn, producing a very dIsagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is q common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and etfecting a permanent
cure. Price 80 cents, Address The DIR. BO-
